“…Although some authors have reported that the effect of exercise does not improve the cognitive level in all dimensions [63,68], the scientific literature shows a large amount of recent evidence on the improvement of the cognitive state in older adults after carrying out different types of physical exercise programs [69][70][71]. Thus, specifically older adults with type 2 diabetes, undergoing structured physical training, have shown improvements in aspects of cognitive function such as concentration and attention [72]. In any case, robust, long-term, large-scale randomized controlled trials are required to determine whether exercise improves cognition in this group of population (elderly people with type 2 diabetes) [28,73].…”

Ageing and diabetes are recognised as important risk factors for the development of cognitive deterioration. The aim was to analyse the effects of a walking-based training programme on cognitive deterioration and glycosylated haemoglobin (HbA1c) in older women with type 2 diabetes. This was a six-month experimental and longitudinal study with an experimental group (EG) (n = 57) and a control group (CG) (n = 52). All participants were diabetic with hypoglycaemic treatment. EG carried out a walking-based training program. After the training, we evaluated the diabetic state (HbA1c), cognitive functioning with the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE), cardiorespiratory fitness (VO2max) and body mass index (BMI). Results: EG obtained better results than CG in all the analysed variables. EG showed a significant improvement in the levels of HbA1c (−4.5%; p < 0.001), VO2max (+5.9%; p < 0.001) and BMI (−5.4%; p < 0.001); it also obtained increases in the scores of cognitive functioning, which were statistically significant in all dimensions, except for calculation (p = 0.384) and language (p = 0.168). Conclusion: The aerobic treatment produced significant improvements in the diabetic state and cognitive functioning in older women with type 2 diabetes.

“…Exercise and nutrition appear to maintain cognitive function in older people with diabetes (63). Structured aerobic or resistance training for a period of 12 weeks has been shown to promote several aspects of cognitive function, including improved attention and concentration in people with diabetes (64).…”

The prevalence of diabetes is increasing, especially in older people, mainly because of an increase in life expectancy. The number of comorbidities also increases with increasing age, leading to a unique diabetes phenotype in old age that includes vascular disease, physical and neuropathic complications, and mental dysfunction. These three categories of complications appear to have a synergistic effect that can lead to a vicious cycle of deterioration into disability. Early assessment and appropriate, timely interventions may delay adverse outcomes. However, this complex phenotype constitutes a great challenge for health care professionals. This article reviews the complex diabetes phenotype in old age and explores management strategies that are predominantly based on the overall functional status of patients within this heterogeneous age-group.

“…The Finnish Geriatric Intervention Study to Prevent Cognitive Impairment and Disability (FINGER) study has demonstrated a beneficial effect of exercise and nutrition on cognitive function in older people with diabetes [52]. Structured aerobic or resistance training for a period of 12 weeks has been shown to promote several aspects of cognitive functions including improved attention and concentration in subjects with diabetes [53]. In the Look AHEAD (Action for Health in Diabetes) study of 5,145 participants with type 2 diabetes, mean (SD) age 58.7 (6.8) years equally randomised to intensive life style intervention (ILI) or usual care, ILI significantly reduced the incidence of depressive symptoms (HR 0.85, 95% CI 0.75 to 0.97, P=0.02) and preserved better function in the intervention group (P <0.01) although it did not improve cognitive function [54,55].…”

Management of Older People With Diabetes - A Focus On Mental Functions

The prevalence of diabetes in older people is increasing. Diabetes in old age is associated with increased risk of mental dysfunction. Cognitive dysfunction and mood disorders such as depression, anxiety and diabetes-related distress tend to coexist in older people with diabetes and appear to have bidirectional relationship acting as a risk factor and, at the same time, as a consequence of diabetes. To break the vicious circle of this complex reciprocal relationship between diabetes and mental dysfunction, early identification and treatment is important. Healthy lifestyle, appropriate glycaemic control, hypoglycaemia risk reduction and an organised and a holistic care is appropriate. Therefore, health care professionals involved in the care of older people with diabetes should be aware of this associated mental dysfunction and a collaborative care approach that includes integrated care of both physical and mental health is required.
